CASE STUDIES

WESTLAND HELICOPTERS

With OASIS, an optimal helicopter scoop shape was created for Westland Helicopters to reduce ice build-up in engines and improve engine performance by 7%.

GENERAL MOTORS

General Motors looked to optimize the locators positions for their subassembly of auto body parts to attain the highest dimensional quality.

BALLARD POWER SYSTEMS

Ballard Power Systems was faced with the challenge of creating a low cost, compact yet powerful fuel cell design.

MANITOBA HYDRO

To maximize profit in the energy market, Manitoba Hydro sought a tool to determine the generation pattern at certain power plants.

ST. PAUL'S HOSPITAL

Factors that resulted in excessive waiting times in emergency rooms at St. Paul’s Hospital as well as solutions to cut down that time were found and determined through building a process simulation model.

PHILLIPS AND TEMRO

Phillps and Temro looked to automate their design process for their custom order silencers and obtain the best designs with minimum production costs.
